Search result value as an argument to perl script

Hi,
I am invoking perl script with script command in search, which needs to take search result field as an argument to the script.
|inputcsv model.txt|table str
this is giving
name=ABC,input=5,output=6
I need to pass this value as string parameter to script as
script perl tcpclient name=ABC,input=5,output=6

so i am executing
|inputcsv model.txt|table str|script perl tcpclient str

but I am getting as "str" not the value.
if i hard code it like
|inputcsv model.txt|table str|script perl tcpclient name=ABC,input=5,output=6
I am getting it properly.
Can you please help me how I can use the value of "str" other than "str" as I cannot hardcode it. I need to read csv and need to pass the value of str as an argument to perl script.
Please suggest. This is very urgent.:(
Thanks,
Disha

You could register your python script as a custom command, and use splunk.Intersplunk to retrieve search results.

Yes Vincesesto,
I have tried just "name" also inplace of str and also try the python script instead of Perl.Till now it seems like script can only invoke the perl/python script with hardcoded input arguments. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Disha

Hi disha, probably a silly question, but have you tried to separate each of the fields instead of including them in one string, eg; instead of str, have the fields name, input, output...just a suggestion
